The Suicide Club: What to Do When Someone You Love Chooses Death
https://bookshop.org/a/93249/9781544533797
Alexandra Wyman is a pediatric- occupational therapist, a mom, a widow, an author, a podcaster, a speaker, and a Grief guide whose husband Shawn died of suicide. The aftermath of Shawn’s death, complicated by the grief of others and expectations of Alexandra’s own grief process, prompted her to write her important new book titled The Suicide Club: What To Do When Your Loved One Chooses Death. Writing this book that helps others work through their own grief process was helpful to Alexandra in her healing process, and it also offered her the opportunity to reflect on the healing she needed to do from her childhood, including the limiting core beliefs that were impacting her life as an adult. As she started to unravel those beliefs and heal emotionally from her past experiences, Alexandra began taking small, baby steps forward, and now, she is actively helping others start to take their own baby steps towards healing and finding joy again. Tune in to hear Irene and Alexandra talk about Alexandra’s journey of mourning and healing after losing Shawn, the need to change the rhetoric around suicide, and much more, for what is a very moving and insights filled interview with a highly authentic, inspiring woman!
